S On the William S. Hart set there were great activities. The biggest Western barroom set you 'most ever saw. At the table with Mr. Hart sat Faro Sam, the noted gambler from Tia Juana, Mexico, right off the border and about 18 miles from San Diego. All visitors to that little gambling town have watched this wonderful shuffler of spots. He has the soft, silky hair of the gambler, long, nervy fingers, the peculiarly alert eyes which see everything and yet never seem to move. Since Tia Juana was closed by Government orders, because of its proximity to Camp Kearney, many of the gamblers have been forced to take to the movies.
Leaning against the counter was big Pedro, a well-known Mex cow-puncher. There were about fifty men extras, every one having a reputation for something — good or bad.

It's just the old theater idea used again, and is found practical and timesaving.
In San Francisco they called the .flu-masks "Bill Harts," and everybody joshed about it. They surely did resemble the 'kerchiefs made famous by this movie bandit king.
Everybody was astonished to see another of wonderful Helen Keller's accomplishments, namely, that she danced nightly with her many friends at Beverly Hills Hotel. She swam in the Pacific Ocean almost daily. It's no wonder she has a willowy figure, is it? She hears the vibration of her director's foot on the stage ; he gives one tap when he wishes a scene to start and two when it is finished. She is extreme 1 y
